Question -

In the figure, ABC is an isosceles triangle whose side AC is produced to E. Through C, CD is drawn parallel to BA. The value of x is
(a) 52°
(b) 76°
(c) 156°
(d) 104°



Answer -

In ∆ABC, AB = AC
AC is produced to E
 
CD || BA is drawn
∠ABC = 52°
∴ ∠ACB = 52° (∵ AB = AC)
∴ ∠BAC = 180°-(52° +52°)
= 180°-104° = 76°
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠ACD = ∠BAC (Alternate angles)
= 76°
and ∠BCE + ∠DCB = 180° (Linear pair)
∠BCE + 52° = 180°
⇒∠BCE = 180°-52°= 128°
∠x + ∠ACD = 380°
⇒ x + 76° = 180°
∴ x= 180°-76°= 104° (d)
